Ask my three-year old what he wanted more than anything else, he’ll answer “BLUE SKIS!” He had been talking about them to whoever would listen, flipping through the Ski Magazine looking for them, and browsing the ski shops hoping that one day he would own his first pair of skis. Well, after months of anticipation, he got his blue skis!

We headed to Boulder Ski Deals and were so excited that they had blue skis in stock. They have an amazing program where skis can be returned to them the next year for 50% of the purchase price and the year after that for 25% of the purchase price.

We love Boulder Ski Deals!

Of course, for a three-year old boy, the brand is so much less important than the color; however, as skier parents were happy with both the brand and the color. The sales person was so helpful and did a great job fitting our new skier.

Getting fitted for new skis and boots.

Once everything was said and done, he had new Dynastar skis and Salomon boots! He already has his helmet – we must protect the noggin! Now, we are trying to convince him that he really doesn’t need poles until next year.

Blue skis!

The hardest part was leaving the skis behind so that the bindings could be attached;but, the gondola in the store was BIG fun!

Hop in the gondola before it's heads up the mountain!

The day we had scheduled to pick them up from Boulder Ski Deals was a happy, happy day. It had snowed the night before and snow was in the air again. We rushed home and he put his new boots on. Then, he snapped into the skis. Out we went…to the front yard and my three-year old took his first turns – with the help of his dad!

First tracks - no time to put on ski pants...
